#futurama is back, but the #comedy #writing is #lazy . All of the references are #modern and tied to the #us , whereas the old #series was #universal . It seems like the new #writers are not as good as the last #futurama team.
Really great point about how crap #modern #os #platforms have become: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=364.. #gui #applications used to run in milliseconds, now we wait for several seconds, despite #computation being orders of magnitude greater.
Very cool #linux #project that #converts an old #nokia into a more #modern #phone https://hackaday.com/2022/06/18/notkia-b.. Very impressive work! It currently #supports #wifi and #lora - more than good enough.
I can definitely #vouch for the #benefits of #keto https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article.. Glad to see #modern #science finally catching up.
#flying #hover #motocycle ? Yes please! https://hackaday.com/2022/06/12/safety-n.. Looks like a #pipedream , but is not entirely insane. #roads are not being #maintained and due to #modern #electronics and #batteries we can now feasibly build small flying machines with good flight times.
Man, #doom with #raytracing #enabled is awesome: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/04/d.. This could be a really nice path forwards to bringing old #retro #games into #modern times.
#us #training #ukrainian #soldiers in #poland ... https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bide.. This is quite an #escalation . I am also aware that other #countries join this effort too. This also means using their #modern #equipment too - a clear #escalation in the #russian #invasion .
Oh wow, #serenityos #browser #passes 100% of the #acid 3 #tests - an extremely #significant #milestone for *any* #modern #browser https://twitter.com/awesomekling/status/.. It's hard to state how #impressive this actually is, completely from the ground up!
#russia now using more #hypersonic #missiles in #ukraine https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/2.. These appear to be the #modern day #weapon of choice as they are near #undetectable and very #accurate .
Excellent #article on why #modern #technology sucks: https://newsletter.danhon.com/archive/s1..
Ouch, an extremely #serious #linux #zeroday #backdoor in #modern #kernels called #dirtypipe https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/se.. Don't worry, a #patch is incoming: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ker..
Interesting #review of the #modern #thinkpad https://127001.me/post/ten-years-of-thin.. Have #insert and #end as the same #key would kill me in #vim - it #excludes me from tonnes of #mechanical #keyboards too. A #palmrest is an important feature. An #ethernet #port is a must, as is an #external #battery ! One thing my old T22 #laptop has is an anti- #glare #display with a #physical #border around the #lcd . Seems like the #ibm / #lenovo #thinkpad is not quite the machine it used to be.
#business #idea - a #modern take on a #tamagotchi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi This would be based on similar #hardware to the M5 #stack #core 2 and would employ #modern #techniques such as #machine #learning , #iot , #connectivity , etc. The #concept would be to create an #emotionally #compelling #agent whose overall #goal is to #maximize #engagement . It would pre- #trained , but be allowed to freely #learn in the wild, with some #safety #parameters and #reset #functionality .
This is an awesome #article #documenting how some of the best #modern #films out of #pixar happened in a single lunch in 1994: https://gointothestory.blcklst.com/that-.. That brought us #findingnemo and #walle - amazing.
Interesting #dicussion regarding #simultaneous #multithreading and #modern #cpu #architecture - specifically regarding #bugs such as #spectre and #meltdown https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog.. Will definitely be worth considering this if designing my own #cloud #infrastructure in the future!

I was slightly taken aback by the introduction of #modern #technology - I hope it doesn't lose itself. Still, quite a few episodes to get through as yet.Watching a new #anime called #plunderer - on #episode 3 and I am so far quite impressed, it started off strong. Seems like an interesting #universe with interesting characters.
